servings500ml mayonnaise
Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 500ml neutral oil (such as canola or sunflower)

  • 3 egg yolks (no egg white at all)

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tsp whole grain mustard

  • ½ tsp table salt

  • 40–45ml fresh lemon juice

Preparation

Preparation:

  1. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and grain mustard

  2. Whisk on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and uniform

  3. With the mixer running, slowly drizzle in the oil in a thin, steady stream to create an emulsion

  4. Once all of the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick, add the salt and whisk briefly to combine

  5. Add the lemon juice and whisk until fully blended and the mayonnaise is silky

Notes

Notes:

  • Add the lemon juice only at the end to stabilize the emulsion

  • Use only fresh lemon juice for the best flavor

  • Keeps well refrigerated for several weeks (often longer if made with very fresh eggs and stored properly)
